Grange Fitzrovia Hotel

we had a double room, and the bed in it was actually a bed for one person.
we could not sleep half of the night & woke up 50 times. sorry, but i don’t really care if a room is small, but a single bed in a double room is simply no option…

This is a perfectly nice hotel, but the wireless internet setup is extremely frustrating. It frequently disconnects, requiring the user to re-​enter name and email address and choose between free or premium. However, triggering the log-​in screen isn’t so automatic! When my internet gets sluggish, I open several tabs until one of them triggers the log-​in web page.
I inquired at the front desk about it, and the receptionist said that if a page is open for 30 minutes or more, the wireless internet shuts off and requires re-​log in. Not idle for 30 minutes– just open for 30 minutes. Very frustrating! I do hope the management changes the wifi program.

Very nice, old-​fashioned looking hotel. The staff was very helpful and offered to take our bags upstairs. The rooms are nice and spacious, and well-​priced for a hotel of this calibre. There was complimentary coffee and tea in the cupboard (which we desperately needed after a long trip back from Italy). I particularly enjoyed flipping through the magazines on the night stand and the helpful wake up call service!
The bar downstairs is quite small and right next to the entrance which means it’s neither private nor spacious enough to have a group come down. However, the bartender was helpful but only present until about 2am, I think.
Breakfast was my favorite part with the buffet included was fantastic. Everything your heart could want– salmon, eggs, fruit, toast, potatoes, pastries, cheese and meat selection. All the juices and coffee, of course. Fantastic. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed at the Grange for about eight days last week and had a pretty swell experience!
The staff are extremely friendly and they have very prompt room service. The red-​haired Michelle Williams-​looking concierge seems to work ²⁴⁄₇ and really busts his ass for the Grange. I hope they pay him well.
The ceiling in our bathroom had some weird mold on it that was never addressed. Hope I don’t get E Coli in my blood or something.
When we first arrived, the room seemed small for the high-​end price, but looking back on it I think the room grew over the week and ended up being sizable. We couldn’t figure out how to operate the safe (I think it was broken) so we locked some valuables in the refrigerator which comes with its own key that you can remove. The mini bar is stacked and the drink prices are actually reasonable which I was surprised about. If you’re wanting a drink to relieve the pain of your life, however, the bar downstairs can get you dead. On the weekend nights, the bar and overall downstairs area actually was very crowded with drinkers. Otherwise its often empty down there.
The wifi situation is laughable here. For how expensive the rooms are, they charge TEN POUNDS PER DAY PER DEVICE (iphone, computer, partner’s iphone, etc) to use their wifi! What the hell? We shouldn’t be charged at all for that, let alone that exorbitant amount! As we had a glorious view of the BT Tower from our window, my girl and I had a clever idea. Instead of paying out the ass for the wifi at Grange, we signed up for a 5 day pass of «FON-​FREE» (BT Fon’s wifi service) for 15 pounds and the signal reached our room fine. Signing in every time was annoying, but we could sign in from multiple devices at once so we saved over a hundred dollars by doing that. HEED OUR ADVICE ON THAT!
The water pressure in the shower is good and the toilet takes some practice but you’ll have it flushing in no time. The lights in the room are incredibly confusing sometimes as some switches do some things that others do more of (confusing sentence for confusing switches). With some coordination, you and your partner will be turning the lights on and off in no time.
The cleaning crew is on point, there is a door-​hanger they give you to put on the outside when your room needs cleaning, but if you forget to put it out there on the «don’t come in» side, they will come in anyways (sometimes will knock). One time the room cleaner came in at 8 AM and we didn’t feel like telling her to leave so she just snuggled with us. But not actually. But actually.
The room service hot chocolate and coffee we got several times came with a cookie plate which was a nice touch. We enjoyed that while paying $ 15 (U.S.) to watch a movie on the room’s TV. Speaking of which, the TV only received 10 channels. What the heck…
Anyways, if to Grange or not to Grange is your question, it might all come down to the price tag. It’s a great hotel and we had a magical eight days in it!

Met a friend and went there for drinks, (having eaten elsewhere). Old fashioned hotel with nice comfy bar areaStayed the night in a double room in the basement, which was a little noisy and cold. Again, en suite only had shower. Good location though within easy reach of Oxford Street. Avoid the basement rooms — otherwise pleasant but nothing special.

I booked a room through last
and they allocated me into the basement. Really noisy and uncomfortable room. After complaining they moved me to the second floor. Better room with an en suite but really small… Be aware that last
deals can go wrong and avoid the noisy horrible basement…

Whilst this hotel was great value for money, I stayed on a Sunday night and paid a special rate. £60 plus vat for a double room is a great price for a well located hotel. 24hr room service was good but expensive. Room was comfortable and quiet (Sunday don’t forget) en suite was shower only, no bath. This hotel is one of the «top secret» hotels on
